member John Peterson, with
Marvin Kahn as secretary.
It was arranged to extend
club membership to those in
Medford and vicinity who were
interested in 'getting acquaint

terested may join. It is govern

Foreign Car Sales Said Causing
Concern for U.S. Manufacturers
New York 3 i Sales of for
eign cars in the" United States
are booming.
Americans this year will spend
in the neighborhood of half a
billion dollars for small, light
weight cars from Germany.
France, England, Italy and
Sweden.
The sharp increase in foreign
car sales from around 30,000
cars in 1954 to around 200.000
this year has caused some
raised eyebrows in Detroit.
Every American car manu
facturer is mapping plans to take
advantage of the new market
opened up by their foreign
counterparts.
Foreign Car Sales Up
Foreign cars are expected to
account for about 3 to 3.5 per
cent of the total U.S. car market
this year. Foreign manufactur
ers report sales are running well
anead of 1956 and that they have
long waiting lists.
The big selling feature of
these cars is economy low
prices, efficient operation.
Germany's little M e s s e r
schmitt, which carries two peo
ple, one behind the other, is said
to run 10C miles on a gallon of
gasoline.
Imports of foreign cars have
increased so rapidly the past
few years that some experts are
predicting 1957 will be the first
year in history that the U.S.

lution calling on Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y Thornton to

mond Clark, were state's wit
nesses when the attorney gener

Argentina "Cold Wave
Fatal to Four Persons
Buenos Aires (W Four
persons were dead today as a
result of Argentina's cold wave.
The mercury went below
freezing in many sections of the
country. At the South Orkney
Islands it dropped to 16 de
grees Monday. Three of the vic
tims were suffocated by char
coal heater fumes, while the
fourth died of exposure.

imported more cars than it ex
ported. U.S. firms are taking steps to
capture a share of this fast
growing and lucrative market.
General Motors Corp. an
nounced last week that it will
begin importing cars made by
two of its foreign affiliates
Vauxhall in England and Opel
in Germany.
Ford is pushing imports of
two of its affiliates Ford of
England and Simca of France.
Studebaker - Packard is going
to produce an economy car in
this country and also has an ar
rangement with Daimler -Benz
of Germany. American Motors
Corp. makes the small Rambler
tnd is importing the Britisli
made Metropolitan.
What's behind the rise in
small car sales?
"Our big markets are the
people who want a second car
or those who must drive back
and forth to work every day,"
said Robert Lamaison. vice
president and general manager
of Renault Inc., major French
auto maker.
"Our biggest selling feature is
economy. Why buy a car that
gives only 15 miles to the gallon
when you can buy one that will
give you 40?" he asked.
Lamaison said the move to the
suburbs and the rising cost of
gasoline have helped to spur the
growth of the economy-car market.
